Filter Script: create and save

This example shows how to create and then save a new filter script.

This script can be executed by running the following command:

pytest --pyargs pymeshlab -k 'filter_script_create_and_save'

tests/example_filter_script_create_and_save.py

import pymeshlab


def example_filter_script_create_and_save():
    # lines needed to run this specific example
    print('\n')
    from . import samples_common
    base_path = samples_common.samples_absolute_path()
    output_path = samples_common.test_output_path()

    # create a new MeshSet
    ms = pymeshlab.MeshSet()

    # load a new mesh
    ms.load_new_mesh(base_path + "cube.obj")

    # applying some filter to the mesh...
    # every apply_filter saves in the filter script stored in the MeshSet
    # the applied filter with their parameters
    ms.apply_filter('remeshing_isotropic_explicit_remeshing')
    ms.apply_filter('remeshing_isotropic_explicit_remeshing')
    ms.apply_filter('per_face_quality_according_to_triangle_shape_and_aspect_ratio')
    ms.apply_filter('colorize_by_face_quality')

    # save the mesh
    ms.save_current_mesh(output_path + 'col_rem_cube.ply')

    # save the current filter script, containing all the filters with their parameters
    # that have been applied in the MeshSet ms.
    ms.save_filter_script(output_path + 'test_saved_script.mlx')
